Short presentation

Matilda Hellman, PhD, holds a chair in sociology. Her work has furthered knowledge on the ways in which governance practice and institutions embed and produce views on e.g. drug use, mental health, alcohol policy and gambling. Her work on lifestyles, mental health and addiction has been awarded and recognized internationally. The welfare state in its many historical shapes and models has played a central role in Matilda's research. She is Editor-in-Chief for Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.
